Would something like below be appropriate?

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fs: Let filesystems opt out of memcg awareness
All filesystem mounts by default are memcg aware and end hence
end up creating shrinker list_lrus for all the memcgs. Due to
the way the memcg_nr_cache_ids grow and the list_lru heads are
allocated for all memcgs, huge amount of memory gets consumed
by kmalloc-32 slab cache when running thousands of containers.
Improve this situation by allowing filesystems to opt out
of memcg awareness. In this patch, tmpfs, proc and ramfs
opt out of memcg awareness. This leads to considerable memory
savings when running 10k containers.
